Abstract

Background: Murraya koenigii (Curry) leaves are herbal plants that have bioactive compounds such as phenolics, flavonoids, and alkaloids that function as antioxidants and anti-cancers. Aims: This study aimed to quantitatively determine the bioactive compounds in curry leaves by calculating phenolic, flavonoid, and alkaloid content. Its potential as an antioxidant and anti-proliferative compound in T47D breast cancer cell lines was also analyzed. Methods: Murraya koenigii leaves extract was obtained by maceration using 80% methanol (1:5 w/v), then the antioxidant and anti-proliferative test was carried out using the 1,1-Diphenyl-2-Pycrylhidracyl (DPPH) and MTT (-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, respectively, followed by flow cytometry to determine the apoptotic activity of the extract on T47D breast cancer cell lines. Results: The results for the bioactive compounds in the methanol extract of Murraya koenigii leaves were 156.62±1.49 mg/g phenolics, 99.19±0.25 mg/g flavonoids, and 2.90±0.01 mg/g alkaloids. The IC50 value for antioxidant activity was 25.058±2.2 μg/ml and showed an anti-proliferative effect on T47D cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 74.71±5.45 μg/ml for cytotoxicity. Furthermore, flow cytometry showed that a concentration of 1/16 IC50 has the best results for apoptosis. Conclusion: The methanol extract of Murraya koenigii leaves has the potential as an antioxidant and anti-proliferative agent and can induce apoptosis of T47D cells.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that significantly impacts the quality of life. In Indonesia, it affects 2.5% of the population, with increasing cases observed in major hospitals. This study aimed to profile psoriasis vulgaris at Waled General Hospital, Cirebon, from January 2020 to December 2023. Aims: To understand the profile of psoriasis vulgaris in the Dermatology and Venereology Clinic of Waled General Hospital, Cirebon Regency, for the period January 2020 to December 2023. Methods: This study employed a descriptive, cross-sectional design with a retrospective approach to analyze secondary data sourced from medical records of patients treated at Waled General Hospital. The inclusion criteria focused on individuals diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris who received treatment or consultation between January 2020 and December 2023, provided their medical records were complete. Conversely, the exclusion criteria removed patients diagnosed with other forms of psoriasis, such as guttate psoriasis, as well as those with incomplete records. The final sample size consisted of 56 patients, ensuring a focused and manageable dataset for analysis. By applying these criteria, the study aimed to provide a clear and accurate understanding of psoriasis vulgaris cases, ensuring the findings were both scientifically robust and clinically relevant. Results: From January 2020 to December 2023, psoriasis vulgaris was most prevalent among the age group of 15-49 years, with a mean age of 42.3 ± 14.7 years comprising 53.57% of the cases. The female sex predominated over the male sex, with 53.57% versus 46.42%. The major clinical presentation in all cases was red plaques, 100%. Hypertension was the most common comorbid condition, affecting 17.85% of the patients. The universal systemic antihistamine used was 100%, while the topical corticosteroid used was performed for 80.35% of the cases. Conclusion: These findings put into perspective the need for early recognition of symptoms, standardized treatment, and integrated care for comorbidities such as hypertension in a regional hospital setting. This study thus provides important lessons that could be used to improve psoriasis management by proactively identifying specific strategies to address demographic and clinical characteristics of affected populations and ultimately improve patient outcomes and resource use.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease caused by the failure of the pancreas to produce the hormone insulin or ineffective use of the hormone insulin. It is estimated that 537 million adults aged 20-79 years worldwide suffer from DM. Genetics is one of the risk factors involved in the pathophysiology of type 2 DM. The KCNJ11 gene encodes the Kir6.2 protein that is responsible for adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium ion channels (kATP) synthesis in pancreatic beta cells plasma membrane. Aims: This study aims to examine the KCNJ11 rs5219 gene polymorphism as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus in Cirebon population. Methods: This case control study involved 29 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 29 healthy controls with purposive sampling technique. Sample data was obtained through the examination of blood sugar, DNA extraction, PCR-RFLP with Eco24I restriction enzyme, then visualization of the results with Gel Electrophoresis. Results: The frequency of G allele was found more in the case group (70%) while the frequency of A allele was found more in the control group (38%). The frequency of heterozygous GA genotype was found more in the control group (48.3%) and the frequency of homozygous mutant AA genotype was more in the case group (17.2%) compared to the control group (13.8%). Chi-Square Test results obtained p-value 0.115, OR value 2.318. Conclusion: This study showed no significant association between Potassium Inwardly Rectifying Channel Subfamily J Member 11 (KCNJ11) rs5219 gene polymorphism and the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Cirebon population.

Abstract

Background: Cataract is the main cause of visual impairment and reversible blindness in the worldwide, especially in people over 50 years old. Cataract could be treated through cataract surgery, which one of the methods is phacoemulsification. Phacoemulsification has the advantage of reducing the risk of post-operative astigmatism due to its smaller incision compared to other techniques. Astigmatism was assessed by the curvature of the cornea, which measured using keratometry. Aims: To describe the differences in curvature cornea value pre and post phacoemulsification surgery in senile cataract patients at Waled Regional Public Hospital, Cirebon. Methods: This is a descriptive observational study. Sampling was obtained from medical records at Waled Regional Public Hospital. Data analysis using univariate analysis. Results: Subjects with preoperative keratometry difference (K1 and K2) of < 1 diopter (D) were 39 subjects (73.6%), and > 1 diopter (D) were 14 subjects (26.4%). Subjects with postoperative keratometry difference (K1 and K2) of < 1 diopter (D) were 38 subjects (71.7%), and > 1 diopter (D) were 15 subjects (28.3%). Subject who had reduction in corneal astigmatism were 21 subjects (39.6%), subject who did not have any change in corneal astigmatism were 14 subjects (26.5%), and subject who had increment in corneal astigmatism were 18 subjects (34%). Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.033, indicating a statistically significant change in corneal curvature value between before and after surgery (p-value = < 0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that out of 53 samples, most subjects had preoperative and postoperative astigmatism with a keratometry value difference (K1 and K2) of < 1 diopter (D). One month after phacoemulsification surgery, most samples showed a decrement in astigmatism compared to those who showed an increment in astigmatism.

Abstract

Background: Head injuries were a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, often resulting in bleeding brain lesions such as epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral hematoma. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was a widely used tool to assess the level of consciousness in head injury patients. Understanding this relationship was essential for guiding clinical management and predicting patient outcomes, especially in regions with high incidences of traumatic brain injuries, such as Cirebon, Indonesia. Aims: To analyze the relationship between bleeding brain lesions and the Glasgow Coma Scale in head injuries at Gunung Jati Regional Hospital, Cirebon, Indonesia. Methods: This study used an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was conducted using total sampling with a sample size of 28. The inclusion criteria were patients with CT-confirmed brain hemorrhages (epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, or intracerebral hematomas).  Data were obtained from medical records in 2023 at Gunung Jati Regional Hospital. The analysis was performed using the Spearman rank correlation test to evaluate the relationship between the type of brain hemorrhage and GCS scores. Results: The total sample of 28 included 21 patients (75%) with Intracerebral Hematoma, 3 patients (10.7%) with Subdural Hematoma, 2 patients (7.1%) with Epidural Hematoma, and 2 patients (7.1%) with Subarachnoid Hematoma. The level of consciousness in these patients was as follows: 15 patients (53.6%) with mild injuries, 8 patients (28.6%) with moderate injuries, and 5 patients (17.9%) with severe injuries. Spearman correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between Bleeding Brain Lesions and Glasgow Coma Scale in head injuries (p =0.645). The absence of correlation might have been due to unaccounted factors in this study, such as hemorrhage volume, lesion location, midline shift, and injury mechanism. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between types of bleeding brain lesions and Glasgow Coma Scale in head injury patients. The study's limitations included a small sample size and the exclusion of variables such as hemorrhage volume and location, which could affect the level of consciousness. Future research was recommended to involve larger sample sizes and additional clinical factors to better understand the dynamics between types of brain hemorrhages and patients' levels of consciousness, potentially improving clinical management strategies.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that requires long-term management and carries the risk of leading to other health conditions, which can result in decrease of quality of life. Aims: To find the quality of life of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and the factors affecting it at Waled General Hospital (RSUD Waled), Cirebon, Indonesia. Methods: It was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The study took place at RSUD Waled, Cirebon Regency, and used 96 (T2DM) patients as research samples that were chosen with simple random sampling. The source of data was primary through a questionnaire and secondary from the patient’s medical record. The questionnaire used for the quality of life’s variable in this research was WHOQOL-BREF. The analytical statistics used were Spearman’s correlation test for the bivariate analytics, and binary logistics regression for the multivariate analytic. Results: There were 54.2% of T2DM patients that fell into bad quality of life category and 45.8% of T2DM patients had good quality of life. Analytic statistics showed a significant relationship between glycemic control (p = 0.003 and r = 0.304), family support (p = 0.000 and r = 0.502), and self-acceptance with quality of life of T2DM patients (p = 0.000 and r = 0.606). Meanwhile types of therapy, comorbidities, and complication didn’t show a significant correlation with quality of life of T2DM patients. Multivariate analysis showed the most correlated factor for quality of life of patients T2DM was self-acceptance (OR=30). Conclusion: There were some factors that had significant correlation with quality of life of T2DM patients. Self-acceptance was the most correlated factor with quality of life of T2DM patients. Healthcare providers can incorporate educational intervention programs into routine diabetes care, emphasizing patients' psychological health, especially with regard to self-acceptance and family support techniques. In order to improve knowledge, motivation, and efficient self-management, this program may incorporate counselling, education, and the creation of support groups.
